Hi! Thank you for your feedbacks! It's always nice to see people have fun despite a very unfinished and unpolished state! :D
Yup, there is a creature that is supposed to follow you quite early in the adventure, maybe it 's a bug (one of them 🤣) ? To make it spawn you have to (SPOILER AHEAD!!!) feed the machine with the 5 arms available at the start of the game and wait for it to comsume them all. Once it stops, there will be a some trees on the right of the path, follow the candles, there will be a chapel. Enter and take the skull.
